9 d. ago Next up, the Ashes – and England will need Ben Stokes at his all

England’s batting lineup looks settled for the trip to Australia, but their fast-bowling stocks were stretched against India and the captain can help ease the burdenThe England-India epic that ended up like two weary prizefighters trading blows will live long in the memory – a 2‑2 classic for which the players on both sides deserve immense credit. Not that Mohammed Siraj, still hitting 90mph on the speed gun on the 25th day, showed weariness. If anything, he could well hold the key to solving the world’s energy problems.Plaudits in particular go to three men who stepped up bravely when other sports would have simply subbed them off: Shoaib Bashir bowled with a broken left hand at Lord’s; Rishabh Pant batted with a broken foot at Old Trafford; and then Chris Woakes, Horatio Nelson armed with a Gray-Nicolls, followed him in folklore at the Oval. Don’t be fooled by the white flannels and the stoppages for tea – Test cricket is a brutal sport. Continue reading...

3 w. ago WNBA players say they’re not paid what they’re owed. Are they right?

The league’s best players believe they are not being given a fair deal when it comes to compensation. But sports accounting is a tricky affairNapheesa Collier was in record-breaking form on Saturday night as she set a new high for a WNBA All-Star Game, with 36 points.
